Tyre wear at race start, where am I wrong?

Recommended Posts

I've noticed that if I qualify on first ten position - so I must race with the same tyres of my best lap - my tyres looks like to suffer more than opponents, so my lap times are inferior than car behind. After pitting, I can beat their pace... however I have to pit as earlier as I can.
Can I do something or it's supposed to be on this way?

The tyres you start with are the ones you made your Q2 LAP on. So don't make more than one try in Q2 and you should be fine

No difference if short quali cause unless you personally choose the tyre the Q1, 2 and 3 will all be automatically on new tyres. Just do one super smooth run in Q2 and you'll be okay.

Though worth noting that the AI can pit on lap 1 in 25% race and not need to pit a 2nd time anyway so the wear rate I feel does not apply to AI.. Sadly
